City Utilities of Springfield is warning all utility customers throughout the Ozarks about an old scam making the rounds but with a new twist.
Scammers are calling customers, telling them they could avoid any rolling blackout by paying money through suggested methods.
CU says it is not possible to pay to avoid a blackout and the utility company will not call asking for any payments.
The risk of rolling blackouts is low but customers are asked to reduce utility use until mid-Saturday.
